No Clue

Nolan Ryan, one of the greatest professional baseball players of all time, now retired, was in a ball park watching a baseball game. The gentleman who sat next to him did not notice Ryan. But he was wearing Nolan Ryan’s famous jersey number 34 with his name on it. Probably he was not even aware of who his seat mate was.

This happens to me also all the time. People have no clue who I am.

Once I was watching a cricket match in the Wankhede Stadium. Someone pointed out to me that the guy who was sitting next to me was Sachin Tendulkar.
I turned around and said “hello”. He replied with a “hello”. I asked him “how about an autograph?”. He said “sure”. I then signed my name in a piece of paper and gave it to him.
